Great-Grandpa

My father's father died last Thursday. He had just turned 94. The funeral was beautiful. It was at the parish to which he belonged as a child and through most of his working years in Burlington, KS. Some of our ancestors even dug the foundation for that church. He was buried next to my grandmother seven years and few day since her death.

It was great to see all of the aunts, uncles and cousins again. Janelle was the only one that couldn't make it since she is serving her second deployment in Afghanistan. We thought it was a very appropriate way to honor grandpa for his military service.
